Youth Apprenticeship Program (Wisconsin)

Our Utilities Field Technician Youth Apprenticeship program is offered in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development and WE Energies. This program is offered in select locations. Rising juniors and seniors can support their community with hands-on experience in the energy industry.

Wind Energy and Turbine Technology Degree Program

We've worked with Iowa Lakes Community College to develop the curriculum for this two-year wind energy technology degree. This Associate in Applied Science degree prepares students to install, maintain and service modern wind turbines. Graduates will be ready to support the growing wind infrastructure as companies rush to build renewable energy generation.

Gas technician and line technician programs

Gas technicians install, maintain and operate both high and low-pressure natural gas distribution systems used to supply residential, commercial and industrial companies.

Line workers get electricity to homes, stores, schools, factories and more. They use their skills to install and repair cables, wires and other equipment you might see on an electrical pole.

These schools offer programs for gas technicians and line technicians.
